This session delves into how the designers of the built world can help alleviate hunger. We will be examining the changing food supply chain and how methods of food production can be incorporated into urban and suburban developments. You will learn how your building design can help reduce or eliminate food waste.
Can creators of the built world bring Peace and Justice to the planet? Can they create institutions that can reduce the fear of violence and create safety where individuals can flourish? Yes, YOU can. The potential within buildings, developments and cities can represent society’s commitment to justice and democracy. This course will examine case studies where architecture and design have changed lives and promoted safety and peace and has strengthened institutions for the benefit of humanity.
This course addresses the UN Sustainable Development Goal for Affordable and Clean Energy and how the creators of the built world can facilitate this goal. Energy is key to a sustainable world and buildings are the largest consumers of energy and producers of CO2. Join us to learn how you can create buildings that use less energy, make energy affordable and accessible and even how a factory can be a forest.
As a key player in the design of the built environment, you - and other design professionals - are in a position to positively impact the communities in which we live, work and play by being an instrument for change. As more people than ever before live in cities, their livability is put to the test. Your design decisions and the building practices you espouse weigh on an increasing number of city dwellers. Find out what you can do to positively affect the quality and sustainability of city life by designing for livability.

Poverty, homelessness, crime, discrimination, mental illness, violence and other societal issues can result in psychological trauma. This creates the need for recuperative built environments such as shelters, day centers, supportive housing and other facility types that can assist people’s return to a place of well-being. Through this course’s information, case studies and discussion, you will learn about the needs of people who experience trauma and the guidelines of trauma-informed care. You will also explore how to apply trauma-informed strategies to design projects so that you can create effective, assistive environments for people in need.
